8. Pies
9. Power
10. Tigers
11. Dogs
12. Giants
13. Bombers
14. Blues
15. Dockers
16. Saints
17. Eagles
18. Suns
1. North
2. Hawks

10. Tigers
11. Dogs
12. Giants
13. Bombers
14. Blues
15. Dockers
16. Saints
17. Eagles
18. Suns
But if they comeback and win...
Feel like this result for the Hawks has been coming. Feel like they have been very lucky this year and their ladder position doesn't reflect their ability #AFLW

The AFLW seems to be malfunctioning today.
Can we just turn it off and on again and start the day over?

10. Lastly, that was worse than any display from last year because as painful as last year was, it never lacked heart.
Today we lacked heart.

8. I thought we got too cute with our line-up last week but got away with it and today we didn't
9. I don't like following North through the fixtures! 2nd week in a row a team has come off a game against the Roos and seemingly learnt how far they need to lift and been much better against us! #AFLW

6. I hate saying this, but the commentary today was just shockingly bad and it does a disservice to this incredible competition. It deserves better.
7. For as bad as the Swans' hands were all day, credit to the Pies whose hands were excellent

4. Putting Kennedy on Britt Bonici was a wasted assignment. She gets alot of ball but is really inefficient with it. Just let her go
5. The terrible starts were bound to bite us, but I don't think anyone expected it to happen today. We deserve everything we got today

3. The umpires were playing no blood no foul off the ball. It was consistent across both teams but the Swans didn't take advantage of it at all while Collingwood used it to stop the Swans forwards from getting any clean ball #AFLW

So many thoughts on the Swans match...
1. Credit to the Pies. They set up to take the big 3 of Molloy, Gardiner and Morphett out of the game and we did absolutely nothing about it.
2. Slowing the play down was NOT it. Played into the Pies hands and let them rest after their high pressure

Embarrassing display from the Swans so far. You could forgive the atrocious decisions if we were playing fast, but we're playing at a snails pace and still making these terrible decisions #AFLW

It feels like the Pies are playing with 18 to the Swans' 16.
They just want it so much more. Swans the flattest they've been since late last year #AFLW

The Giants W program and its decline have finally got to me. I wrote this because the players deserve more, and words are all I have right now.

An open letter to the GWS GIANTS: what happened to your AFLW program?

Ok folks, so we've utterly proven we won't win a game and that the tea boy can't coach...
So please gws, can we now please fire him and conduct a review into our W program?
Gws haven't won in 14 games, what will it actually fucking take to make a change?????
Or do you just not care?

The Giants #AFLW team is just SO FAR off the pace for this league. Bernasconi has to take the heat for that. His position has to be untenable at this point

This is a big win from Carlton. The Lions had a heap of chances in the 4th to close the gap but it jist meant more to the Blues and they kept turning up in numbers #AFLW

Last week the Swans had their biggest ever win on the scoreboard, but that win over Geelong might be their biggest ever win with context. Needed to break the mental barrier of beating a team at that level. Anything is possible now #AFLW

Between Chloe's record, Zippy's start and Ham's big leap there's been no space to talk about how fantastic Holly Cooper has been this year! #AFLW
